InfraTech has recently released its new 10 Gigabit Ethernet interface for their ImageIR® thermographic camera series. The 10 Gigabit Ethernet interface has “high-speed imaging allowing microsecond exposure times that freeze the apparent motion of dynamic events,” according to the company, and transfers data “ten times faster than a GigE interface”, thanks to a network card … [Read more...]
Graphene Can Now Be Applied to Thermal Imaging Devices
Researchers from MIT have built a chip out of graphene that could be applied to thermal imaging devices. “Graphene is one of the best-known infrared sensing materials, so the team built a microscopic sensor chip out of the material,” Engadget reported. “Further graphene was then used to carry the signals and suspend the chip over an air pocket. That eliminated the need for … [Read more...]
Adhesive Cures at Temperatures as Low as 60°C
DELO, a manufacturer of industrial adhesives for automotive, consumer and industrial electronics applications, has released a new heat-curing adhesive that cures to full strength in temperatures as low at 60°C. The new DELOMONOPOX LT204 epoxy resin minimizes thermal stress and warping of components being bonded, making it ideal for optical packaging and other applications where … [Read more...]
Waste Sulfur May Improve Thermal Imaging Lenses
The discovery of a new use for waste material left over refining fossil fuels could lead to benefits for the thermal imaging industry. A University of Arizona-led international team has found that the sulfur left over from the refining process can be transformed into inexpensive, lightweight plastic lenses for infrared detection devices. "We have for the first time a polymer … [Read more...]
TTI Analyzers Offer Low-Cost Solution for Non-Invasive Thermal Design Verification
Microsanj, a supplier of high-resolution thermoreflectance thermal imaging systems, tools and consulting services, has announced the availability of its NT100/NT110 thermoreflectance thermal image analyzers starting at $45,000. The availability of the NT100 sub-micon spatial resolution thermoreflectance thermal imaging system at this price meets the need for a low cost … [Read more...]
